EOPS serves minority, limited income people Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, a program to primarily aid the minority and the low income student, has come a long way. EOPS believes that no student should be denied a college education because of the lack of finances or academic and educational deficiency. In 1969, its first year of existence, 45 to 50 students benefited from the program. EOPS has increased that amount 100
that this fall there will be a 10 percent increase over last fall, including part-time and full-time students, adding up to a more than 100,000 increase in enrollment. "There are a number of reasons for this growth," Brossman said. "Partofit, of course, is simply that we have 100 colleges, and that's accessibility -even though they're still not accessible to enough people. · "Another factor is that we have so many courses that enable students to go out and find good, gainful employment. Another is that the cost is comparatively low, and another is the large number of veterans and adult evening students." California Community Colleges comprise the largest network of postsecondary education in the free world. This was the first state with legislation creating such colleges, passing a bill enabling post-high school courses in 1907.
percent in the last two years under the direction of Ben Lucero. Five hundred students were given assistance last year with grants, book fees, and transportation funds. Included were the supportive services such as tutoring, counseling and recruitment. Lucero commented that 1,924 fulltime students and 3,082 part-time students qualify for financial aid and assistance under EOPS. "Even though we have identified this large number of needy students, because of limited funds, we always find ourselves not able to service all these students. We make every attempt to assist them in every way possible," stated Lucero. Eligibility requirements include filing an application every semester, being a full-time student (12 units), making appointments for personal interviews, documenting financial eligibility, and maintaining a satisfactory academic progress or be tutored. Two educational centers are located in Pala Mission on Pala Reservation. Lucero proposed that if funds are increased, two additional centers would like to be opened to provide educational opportunities in the community.
Buddy Ebsen, star of television's "Barnaby Jones" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" will bring his "An Evening That's Entertainment" to the Palomar campus tonight at 8 p.m. Accompanying Ebsen will be his 20 year old daughter Bonnie, a dancer and actress; his 16 year old daughter Kiki, a pianist; and his 15 year old son, Dusty, a drummer. "An Evening That's Entertainment" will begin with a short introductory speech by Dr. Theodore Kilman, Dean of Community Services and Continuing Education. His speech will welcome the Ebsen troupe to Palomar, and give a summary of the evening's activities. Beginning the actual show will be Ebsen and his daughter Bonnie doing a tap-dancing routine, reminiscent of vaudeville days. Following that will be a visit with ·the character "Bam a by Jones" from Ebsen's TV series on CBS, an interlude with "Uncle Jed" and niece Bonnie Sue, and the introduction of the Chadwick band. Chadwick, translated, means "young mischief makers." The rock band is composed of David Campanero, guitarist, from Moorpark College; Len Campanero, drummer, and Scott Dempster,

found in temporary service In these "troubled economic times" when unemployment is high and jobs are few, a temporary employment service could be one-answer to the employment crisis. Kay Kubians, San Diego County manager of T-Girl/T-Man temporary employment agency, told of her agency in a recent personal management class at Palomar. Kubians outlined her reasons for temporary employment service: One-time job (such as moving to a new location), a new project during initial stages, peak periods of employment such as the Christmas season or during obvious vacations periods when key positions

Following the Chadwick band will be short comedy sketches featuring Zeke Manners, the original Beverly Hillbilly; Tony Monaco, Ebsen's protege and a comic in his own right; and noted trumpeter Irvin ("Stumphy") Stumph. Bom in Belleville, Illinois, Ebsen was the son of the owner of a dancing school.. He attended the University of Florida and Rollins College to prepare for medical school. In 1928 he won his first Broadway role as a dancer, and thereafter drew the attention of motion picture producers, and finally became an MGM Studio star. His recent acting accomplishments are: starring in the long-running "Beverly Hillbillies" and, the "Bamaby Jones" TV series, and assorted other guest-star roles in television. Among his hobbies are boat building. His catamaran, the "Polynesian Concept" has served as the prototype of a fleet of multi-hulled sailboats. It has a long record of achievement as a winner of oceanic races, skippered in all of them by Ebsen. Ebsen also has a book on catamarans to his credit.

MCS encourages student activism By George Hobbs Now in its second year as a recognized department, MCS (Multicultural Studies) is very much alive, still growing and offering 40 courses with seven fulltime and four part-time instructors. Growing out of student unrest during the 1960s and early 1970s, MCS today encourages responsible and constructive student activism, according to John Valdez, who heads the MCSdepartment. Keeping to this theme, MCS students are involved in many on and off campus activities that involve social services to Black and Chicano communities . Valdez believes that activities like "Black Cultural Week" have added a new dimension to Palomar. But quality teaching and leaming are the main objectives of MCS. Students are the first priority of MCS. The faculty sees their position as more than a job. "We don't close at four," says Valdez. The head of MCS also said the department is trying to develop skills in all areas, and to develop social awareness and consciousness, so they can help their families, community and the nation." ,As in any other department, the facul-

Community colleges show student increase Latest statistics show that one of every 12 Califomians ages 18 to 64 is now a student in one of the 100 Community Colleges in Califomia, according to Chancellor Sidney W. Brossman. When everyone in the state is included, he said, California Community Colleges have enrolled one of every 20. These figures include part-time as well as full-time students, but not those served by such programs as community services with campus concerts, speeches, and the like. While, nationally, enrollments in fouryear colleges and universities have slumped and their rate of growth has slowed considerably in this state, Califomia Community Colleges have continued their brisk pace of increasing enrollments. Brossman said that fall of 1973 enrollments were about 1,010,000, topping one million for the first time in their 64-year history, and that last spring they had climbed to 1,025,000. He predicted

"At first, everyone thought this was going to be a fly-by-night scheme," commented Gill. "But we have stuck with it, and this will be something that will benefit the community for generations. "The Arboretum will not be fully complete for several years. However, students, staff, and faculty are invited to visit the area, but not on motorcycles, dunebuggies, and the like.

Experts debate county proposal North County residents will vote on a proposed single community college district on March 4. Two sides of that controversial ballot proposition are presented here. Don Mitchell and Milo Shadle discuss the pros and cons of the question. By Don W. Mitchell On March 4 the voters of northern San Diego County will decide of a single community college district shall be formed. I believe the single district plan with locally elected board members - one from each of the seven trustee areas established as a part of the plan- offers the best solution for North County. For many years, both Palomar and MiraCosta have offered outstanding educational and vocational community college programs for the residents of North County. In addition, both local districts have been¡ well-governed by their respective boards. Primarily, because non-district areas have enjoyed lower tax rates, each time an election has been called, the voters. of Borrego Springs, Julian, Ramona and San Dieguito areas have determined not to become a part of any district. Since these areas were not a part of any district, their students could attend either Palomar, MiraCosta or any other comrnnnity college in California. 1976-77 projections Over the years, however, a vast majonty of these North County students have attended Palomar. Projections for Palomar for 1976-77 (the first year of operation for the single district if it is formed) indicate an estimated enrollment of 141 full time students from the total Borrego Springs, Julian and Ramona areas and 1,372 students from San Dieguito. None of the Borrego Springs, Julian and Ramona students and only an estimated 200 students will attend MiraCosta. The March 4 election has been set because the law has now been changed. It is no longer possible for areas in California to remain outside of a community college district. In North County, if the election for a single district fails, then by September, 1975, Borrego Springs, Julian, Ramona and San Dieguito must be placed into an existing community college district by resolution of the governing board of the California Community Colleges. The issue then is not status quo versus change, but which change will be the best for the entire North County. The present board members of Palomar and Oceanside-Carlsbad districts urge a voter rejection of the single district plan. This is understandable; no district wants to be voted out of existence. One can sympathize with their position without agreeing on it. Multi-campus district Opponents of the plan contend a single district would result in a loss of local control. But where is the local control throughout North County if there are five board members each from the Oceanside-Carlsbad and Palomar areas and no board members from the areas of Borrego Springs, Julian, Ramona and San Dieguito? They insist a multi-campus district would be too unwieldy and bureaucratic. But the Palomar campus is presently filled to capacity. Regardless of the results of the election, another campus is inevitable in North County within the next few years. They argue the problem of attendance preference of students between the two districts could be handled by permitting unlimited inter-district transfers. But how can a future board permit a continuation of such a policy if either district thereby incurs a substantial financial penalty? Under existing law for high school districts, his has occurred and as a result high school inter-district transfers have been sharply curtailed. Who can guarantee this will not also occur for community college districts? Best alternative Finally, opponents suggest education would somehow decrease in quality and costs would increase. Irrespective of the foregoing contentions of the opponents of a single district, the basic question being presented to the voters on March 4 is whether two fivemember boards, made up of residents of parts of North County, can solve the problems of community college education better than a single seven-member board made up of residents of the entire North County. We cannot retain the present status quo. It is submitted the single North County district provides the best alternative for community college education in North County.
Mitchell is a member of the San Dieguito High School board of education and practices law in Encinitas. Shadle is president of the Palomar College Board of Governors and practices law in Vista. This discussion originally appeared in the San Diego Union. By Milo E. Shadle All ten members of the governing boards of Oceanside-Carlsbad (MiraCosta) and Palomar Community Colleges are opposed to the proposal that all of North San Diego County be placed into one new community college district. Our opposition is based on the following reasons: 1-The district would be huge and unwieldy, stretching from the City of San Diego on the south to Orange and Riverside counties on the riorth; from the Pacific Ocean on the west to Imperial County on the east. 2-This area now is served by two excellent community colleges; MiraCosta College has been in existence for over 40 years and Palomar College for over 28 years. Both colleges have excellent records and reputations, regularly receive the maximum five-year accreditations, and are virtually troublefree. Community control 3-MiraCosta and Palomar have a long history of close cooperation in solving any mutual problems which arise. Both colleges are pledged to continue such cooperation. 4-Both are "community" colleges in the true sense of the word. They were established by local residents, and largely built and paid for by local taxpayers, who are justly proud of their accomplishments and desirous of maintaining control over their educational programs. 5-Because of the close community control over these community colleges, they are extremely . responsive to community needs. Such responsiveness inevitably would be reduced or eliminated if a large, multi-campus district were to be established: Community identification with and support of the colleges would be lessened. 6-Administration of a large, multicampus would be expensive and bureaucratic. Tax rates would jump; innovation in educational techniques would be reduced; education would become more sterile. Loss of local control 7-Relationships between the various segments of the college communities would become more institutionalized, and participation by the public m college administration would be greatly reduced. Quality of education would suffer, as it has in other multi-campus districts. 8-In 1968 the voters of North San Diego County resoundingly defeated the exact proposal which is now before us. 9-The proponents of the proposal are not from the North County; they are from San Diego and Sacramento. They openly advocate it as a prelude to one governing board for all San Diego County Community Colleges, which would result in the complete loss oflocal control by North County residents over their colleges. 10-The San Diego County Board of Education appointed an advisory committee to advise it as to how all "open" areas be placed into a community college district. This committee recommended that all "open" areas be annexed to existing college districts. The San Diego County Board of Education, controlled by South County residents, concurred in this as far as the South County wa,s concerned, but rejected this recommendation concerning the North County. Unwanted unification 11-The Sacramento proponents of the North County district are gomg to extreme lengths to mislead the voters. : They have submitted a document to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters entitled "Official Information and Statistics" which will go to every North County voter. This document claims that the Palomar College tax rate will jump by more than 20 cents per $100 assessed valuation next year to pay for alleged new construction. No new construction whatsoever has been approved by the Palomar Board of Governors, and none is in Governor Brown's budget. We believe that unification would reduce the quality of education, be more expensive by causing property taxes to be increased, and would eliminate local control over our community colleges. We greatly resent the continuous effort by officials from Sacramento and San Diego to force unwanted unification on us. \ For these reasons, we urge that North County voters vote No on the forced unification proposal.
Writer says ASG redraft is essential By David Ross The ASG constitution is in the process of being reviewed with the intention of being rewritten by a group of students in a class entitled Poly Sci 50. It is to be hoped that these worthies (under the guidance of political science teacher Charles Hanlen) come up with a document better than the one now in use. They would be hard put to come up with . a worse one. The old cons.t itution was written by a group of students, who, like the moving finger, which having writ, moves on, are no longer with us. Judging from the work they left behind, the finger was a middle one. The constitution is a collection of unnecessary language and contradictory or unw"orkable ;rticles. Virtually every responsible member of the student government admits that it is a terrible set of guidelines which has contributed to at least one crisis this year alone. They, like we, look forward to the possibility of ridding themselves of it. And with good cause.

THE TELESCOPE
Absurd preamble The preamble of the constitution demonstrates the absurdity of much of the rest by attempting to paraphrase our own U.S. Constitution: "We, the students of Palomar College, in order to maintain justice, insure campus tranquility' provide for the common protection of student rights, promote the general student welfare, secure the blessings of liberty ... " It continues ad nauseum in this manner, attempting to imitate, like some poor ape, ideals far too lofty to be parodied in such a maudlin fashion. In Article Fifteen the constitution states that no student .shall be " .. .deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." We certainly sleep more soundly after having read that! It's a comfort to realize that the Board of Governors can't send us to the electric chair without a fair trial. Of course, little things like that make us laugh. In fact the majority of the constitution is a laughing matter. Start from scratch We would suggest to the committee working to revise the constitution, that they start from scratch. With no trouble at all the n¡u mber of articles could be cut from 16 to ten. It has been suggested that rewriters are considering the pros and cons of the various forms of student government. This is, of course, admirable, but it should be remembered that there are a number of good points contained in the present system. It would be absurd, for instance, to set up a bicameral student legislature, with a "senate" made up of organizations. Equally silly would be a student council giving each ethnic group exactly the same representation. In other words, giving all the Chicanos one vote, all the whites one vote, all the blacks one vote, etc. Necessary reforms Of course, such ideas are farfetched, and in the case ofthe latter, probably illegal. But they have cropped up in other colleges, and we may hear them suggested here as well. There are some reforms, however, that we feel are very necessary and should be incorporated into the new constitution. 1 - A provision for impeachment of ASG officers. So far there is only a procedure for recall. They are not the same thing. 2 - A provision setting the elections of all members of the student government a.t the same time, with terms of office that begin and end at the same time. Presently our Executive Council takes office in March and the Student Assembly is not elected until the following fall. Group deserves support 3-A provision that guarantees that the student newspaper cannot be interfered with, in regards to content, by the ASG. Presently the security of The Telescope is related quite closely to how much the student government agrees or disagrees with editorial policy. This situation violates many longstanding democratic traditions for which this country has long stood, and should be rectified. The persons who are presently working to rewrite the ASG constitution deserve the support of every student concerned with the preservation of his rights and protection of his interests. Public support and injections of ideas and opinions are vital in any undertaking of this kind. We are sure the opinions will be greatly appreciated, and they might contribute, in some small way, to the quality of student life for many years to come. -
Student gets work campus clock Rotarians offer award Ca 5 h 50 U 9 ht • exper1ence a W a r d Charlotte Nina Moller has been named "outstanding student in work experience" by the California Association of Work Experience Educators, San Diego and Imperial Counties Chapter. Moller is the first woman to attain this honor. She is enrolled in the college's Cooperative Education Program, majoring in business and carrying a B+ average. She also works a full 40-hour week as supervisor of accounting at the Rancho Bernardo Medical and Dental Center, supervising app r oximately 20 employees, many of whom are also cooperative education students here. According to Robert Kuretich, director of Palomar's Cooperative Educa tion Program, cooperative education is a partnership of business, industry and education. It is regularly scheduled employment which gives students the opportunity to put classroom theory into practice. In cooperative education, the student works an equivalent of 75 hours during the semester for each unit of credit. The student must be enrolled in a minimum of eight units. Four of these units may be in work experience. The student completes an official study program, which is approved by the director of cooperative education. Each student in the program is assigned a coordinator, who acts as an advisor

to the student. 'l'he coordinator assists the student in meeting learning objectives, which are pre-set at the beginning of the semester as part of the student's official study program. The coordinator also conducts classes, bringing together groups of students to discuss employment and goal-related problems in a classroom situation. Coordinators act as counselors, holding weekly office hours for guidance, advice and programming. Each coordinator guides approximately 125 students. Palomar's cooperative education program saw 98 students completing the first year's program in 1969. During 1973-74, 1,791 students completed a oneyear program. In 1968, a half-time coordinator directed the cooperative education program. Palomar now has full-time director, six full-time coordinators and ten part-time coordinators on the staff. The North County ROP (Regional Occupational Program) work experience students also come under Palomar's administration. Studies taken through the cooperative education program may lead to a certificate of achievement, a vocational AA degree , or may count as elective units towards an AA degree to be transferred to a four-year institution. Cooperative education units are accepted by all 20 state colleges and universities, as well as most other universities in the state.

Locals head to state: take conference crown Capturing five first places, four seconds and a fourth, the wrestling team easily defended their Mission Conference title at Citrus. The match, held February 20, saw Palomar's Warren Nikuls and Grossmont's Pete Grisafi named as coWrestlers of the Year. Yesterday, the Comets traveled to Grossmont for the Southem Califomia Regional Wrestling Toumament. If the proper people place properly, the Comets would have a good chance of capturing the state small school wrestling crown. Major points in the Comets favor are: being the only undefeated junior college team in the state, possessing the top ranked wrestler in one weight division (Nikuls at 190 pounds) and the number two man in Califomia at another (Don Barrios at 158 pounds). It should also be noted that the Comets are sending all ten placing wrestlers to the regionals, and this factor should assure a strong finish at state. At the conference finals last Thursday, Nikuls pinned Ray White of Chaffeyin3:45 and upped the.pin total of his 26-0 win streak to 14. He has won the other 12 matches by decisions, and has yet to be tied. Barrios, ranked number one in the state before last Thursday's match, was upset by Grisafi of Grossmont, 4-1, for Barrios' first loss of the season. The former San Marcos High School wrestler now has a record of 25-1-3.
Kim Cline takes down another opponent on his way to the state Other pin wins were scored by Mike Karges (167), who whipped Herman Heibrede of San Bemardino in 3:45, and Danny Field (134) who pinned Rich Bothgin of Southwestem in 3:35.
